Kurt Warner

Kurt Warner is a former Super Bowl-winning NFL quarterback for the St. Louis Rams, New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals.

He and his wife Brenda are both devout evangelical Christians, too.

Kurt is most famous for his encounter with Mike Tirico following Super Bowl XXXIV, where he responded to a Tirico question with, “Well, first things first, I’ve got to thank my Lord and Savior up above—thank you, Jesus!”

Warner is one of the great stories about making something from nothing in NFL history.

Reggie White

Reggie White is one of the most famous football players in NFL history. He’s also one of the most respected men in league history.

The late, great White was a well-documented Christian and most fittingly nicknamed “The Minister of Defense” because of his on-field work on defense and his off-the-field work as a dedicated evangelical minister.

When Reggie White passed away in 2004, he left behind a legacy as one of the most selfless, gracious athletes of our time.

Tony Dungy

Tony Dungy is a man of God, even if he doesn’t wear it on his sleeve. The former coach of the Colts is known best for his guidance and support as a mentor for troubled athletes and youths.

Former President George W. Bush also appointed him to the President’s Faith Council in 2007, a very prestigious honor.

Today, Dungy is an author and an analyst for NBC’s Football Night in America, but he still continues his work as a mentor for troubled players, including the much-maligned Michael Vick and Plaxico Burress.

Steve Young

The former San Francisco 49er and BYU Cougar has one very distinct lineage.

Steve Young is the great-great-great grandson of the actual Brigham Young. Brigham Young was the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the person that the school, BYU, is named after.

Young also works as a devout philanthropist and formed his own foundation in 1993 called the Forever Young Foundation; it provides academic and athletic opportunities to those less fortunate.
